At twelve o'clock that night, in Beiping, the headquarters of the Chinese dispatch army of the island army.

The entire command headquarters was completely in a mess, all kinds of phone calls for support, a succession of farewell messages poured in from the front, screams and curses were endless, the dark clouds of defeat filled the command headquarters, and all negative emotions such as depression, anger, pessimism, and heartache could be found here.

More than three hours have passed since the outbreak of the battle, and the defense line built by the island army has been destroyed by the joint attack of the national army's aircraft, tanks, heavy troops, and heavy artillery, and three division commanders and division commanders (the Soviet puppet army is a German army, and there is no division commander) have been killed, and there are countless officers at other levels, and the soldiers cannot be counted at all.

The national army suddenly broke out without any warning, the firepower and weapons and equipment were unimaginably powerful, and the quality of the tank soldiers was by no means as vulnerable as they estimated before the war, on the contrary, they were very sharp in terms of tactics and execution ability, and the coordination of infantry and tanks was almost impeccable, and the most terrifying thing was that all tanks, infantry, and artillery seemed to have a perspective eye, and no matter how secret the hiding place of the island army was, there was nothing to hide in front of them.

Moreover, now they have discovered that the tanks equipped by the national army are obviously much more advanced than them, and the Tiger tank did not say that they are heavy tanks, and their armor and firepower are not at the same level at all, but it is a bit unbelievable that other tanks are stronger than theirs.

Even the batch of German tanks captured from Texas were only the No. 3 and No. 4 tanks of the German army, in the early days of World War II, although they were the main tanks of the German army, but with the advent of Tiger, Leopard, T34, Sherman and other tanks, the No. 3 and No. 4 tanks were obviously a little outdated, and the German army was not generous enough to equip the Leopard or the new Leopard 2 tank with the island army.

(Of course, in the eyes of the German army and the island army, China's production capacity is backward, even if there is a sharp weapon like the Tiger tank, it is impossible to form a large-scale mass production, and there are a large number of No. 3 and No. 4 tanks are enough to deal with it.) ）

The tanks that the island army is now equipped with are the main battle tanks of various countries, especially the T34-85 tank of the Soviet Union, which was specially developed by the Soviet Union to fight against the Leopard, and is currently recognized as the best medium tank.

According to the frontier report, the medium tank that the national army showed on the battlefield of Xuzhou and the appearance was not much different from the T34-85, the armor was so strange that the 85mm tank gun could not knock its frontal armor, while the same 85mm tank gun could knock their armor to pieces.

All kinds of unfavorable factors made Okamura Ninji and Kleist from Germany almost not do it.

Okamura Ningji accused Kleist of being in vain, and vowed to conquer the city and occupy all the areas north of the Yellow River, but he was beaten by a night attack and lost his armor, and the locust army suffered countless losses, blaming himself for believing Kleist's nonsense at the beginning, and now it's okay, the national army has reversed the defeat overnight, and I don't know what terrible things will happen next, and whether the current forces can hold the Pingjin defense line is a problem.

Kleist accused Okamura Ninji of making mistakes in intelligence work, and even knew that the national army was equipped with a new type of tank and had used infrared night vision devices (it had already been explained that Germany was equipped with infrared night vision devices on the Leopard, and Kleist, as an expert in German tanks, could naturally be analyzed from the battlefield), and the logistics problems were serious, and the front troops had advanced more than 100 miles, but the fuel, ammunition and other supplies were still dozens of miles away, resulting in a sudden attack on the front troops but there was not enough ammunition to return fire, and, If it weren't for the fact that the island army had lost more than 200 German tanks to the enemy, how could it have caused them to reach such a terrifying number in terms of the number of tanks.

In fact, Kleist did not expect that Jiang Haoran's tank division, which had just been formed, would be able to perform so well on the battlefield, and the crime of underestimating the strength of the national army could not be escaped.

The two of them quarreled over these issues, especially the quarrel had to be carried out through a translator, which made it even more like a noisy vegetable market in the headquarters.

"Okay, okay, two generals, now is really not the time to quarrel, we must come up with a practical plan to contain the current defeat, every minute of your delay may lead to more casualties." Ishihara stood between the two of them and said earnestly.

Okamura Ninji shook his head helplessly, and said sadly: "Order the troops to retreat on all fronts and retreat to the original defense line to wait for reinforcements." ”

"No, no, General Okamura, you can't give this order, we still have a chance to turn defeat into victory." Kleist exclaimed.

Okamura Ninji staggered to the front of the combat sand table, pointed directly at the sand table and roared: "Look for yourself, the casualties of our front-line offensive troops are more than fifty percent, and the rest of the troops are already scattered, and it is difficult to even retract them in a short time, let alone combat effectiveness, how can we turn defeat into victory in such a situation?" The slightest carelessness may lead to the collapse of the original Pingjin defensive line, and by that time, we will not even have the capital to hold Pingjin. ”

"It's not so serious General Okamura, the reason why the national army was able to succeed was that on the one hand, it relied on surprise attacks, and on the other hand, it relied on the advantages of infrared night vision devices and night sky fighters, so they dared to launch this counteroffensive campaign, but as long as it was daytime, all these advantages were gone, our aviation forces will blow them up all over the ground, and our butterfly bombs are still sufficient, let the national army taste these, I dare to conclude that their situation will not be better than ours now. Therefore, we should not be in a hurry to retreat now, but should quickly gather our troops, avoid fighting with them at night, urgently mobilize the other two armies in the direction of Haixing and Shijiazhuang to rush to the middle road, and urgently mobilize reinforcements in the rear, just wait for dawn, the aviation troops are all dispatched, and they can't find the north, and then we gather the three-way army to pounce on them, launch a large-scale counterattack, and annihilate them tomorrow! Kleist shook his fist vigorously, his expression agitated.

Okamura Ningji and Ishihara Waner were silent, obviously, they were a little moved by Kleist's plan, Ishihara Wanji raised his wrist and looked at the time, and said: "Now there are still more than five hours before dawn, and the army has already attacked the southeast county area, and it is only a hundred miles away from Cangzhou, this distance is not a distance at all for tanks and armored vehicles, and besides, this time the troops they dispatched are all the Nanshan Army, and it is also the most mechanized unit of the Zhina Army, I am afraid that they will go straight to Cangzhou all the way, And Cangzhou we only have one garrison brigade, and it is impossible to block their attack. ”
